Starcraft : The old one (best one imo)

I like this game but I find myself totally useless, any more than one AI player and I find it very difficult to win, although I get there eventually.

I like the small 4 player space map. Blood Bath, I think it is called.

Lets get a game going. I liek any of the WGT13 maps because they are all racially balanced.

Always get my ass handed to me in multi player of this game.

swamp with zerg at the start

Now I'd play that because the amount I suck would be made up for by the amount everyone else on my side would be better than me.

so that's 2, anyone else interested?

Pick a date/time, and if possible, I'll play.

I'll probably be utter rubbish, since I've never played it in proper multiplayer (although I've had a couple of games, and I've played other multiplayer RTS games properly), but I'm up for some fun nonetheless.

Kreeeee · 17 Apr 2006 at 18:51

Well I want at least 4 of us to be confirmed interested first before I go about picking a date/time.

Edit: Tell you what. I'll have the account "OcUK" in channel "op OcUK" all evening so log onto the european server and register your interest there and we'll see how many we get.

What's the gameplay like on Starcraft, i've been wanting to give it a go but i'm a bit of a boomer on Age of Empires, what's resource management like on SC?

i would say its a lot faster than Age of Empires, with 3 very different races to pick from.

It follows the same workings as WarCraft II, you have two resources to manage. I can't remember the names of the stuff, as I've not played it in ages, but you have the money/gold which is crystals that need to be mined, and you have a materials resource in the form of a gas mine that has to be extracted.

The methods of extraction and collection vary between which of the three races you are.

sounds pretty cool, i'll check it out

Thanks
